After noticing that it was Arasaka's convoy, her face instantly turned pale.

He lowered his head desperately, fearing that the Arasaka soldiers in front would see his face.

With an expression that was so frightening that he was about to cry, he bit his lower lip.

"...I'm sorry, coincidentally...I'm a little motion sick, can you drive a little slower..."

Even though she tried to stay calm as much as possible, everyone could hear the fear deep inside her in her trembling voice.

Lin Qiao's eyes were half-squinted as her eyes switched between Lucy's and Arasaka's transport convoys, and she silently stepped on the brakes.

The speed of the off-road vehicle suddenly slowed down, and it quickly distanced itself from Arasaka's transport convoy.

Seeing this, the Arasaka soldier who stuck his head out also returned to the car.

Chapter 295 You really can’t lie, Lucy

There is a practical benefit to having a company dog, especially one as big as Arasaka.

That means it will be very easy when passing the level.

After all, even if they bring contraband, border security personnel may not dare to touch them, especially in such an armed convoy.

To put it bluntly, if we really take action, such an armed convoy is enough to destroy the border defense three or four times.

It is precisely because of this kind of abandonment and the green light all the way that when Lin Qiao and the others arrived at the checkpoint, they did not have a dramatic encounter with Arasaka's escort convoy like in the movie.

These corporate dogs have long since disappeared.

"Brother, the one next to you, is that your sister? Her face doesn't look right. What's going on?"

A border guard wearing a dark green thick body armor came over and gently knocked on the car glass with a kind tone.

"It's nothing serious, just a little heatstroke and motion sickness."

"Heat stroke? No wonder, the weather is so hot, and you can tell from the looks of you that you have walked a lot... We happen to have motion sickness medicine here, do you need it?"

"That's really helpful, thank you."

"Hey, no matter where you are, we are all friends."

With the dog-licking attitude of being able to control people's emotions, the entire border defense people found Lin Qiao unsatisfactory.

The interrogation and difficulties that others faced when crossing the border were just a few symbolic questions for him, and then the two sides started chatting.

The owner of the car behind him was full of questions... Is the service attitude of the border guards so good these days?

Then I have to hurry up and experience it.

After driving all day, I have to let these idiots rub my legs no matter what.

After picking up a bag of various types of medicines with biotechnology symbols painted on them, Lin Qiao started the car engine amid the warm farewell from the border guards.

Licking dog stance, lifted

Then, not long after she left, she heard the sounds of guns being loaded and the border guards yelling angrily.

As the car drove away, the outline of the checkpoint became smaller and blurred.

Finally, after a blowing sandstorm, it completely disappeared.

The atmosphere in the car was a little dull.

All you can hear is the sound of the engine turning and the wheels rubbing against the ground. The electronic sound of the car navigation system has become the most humane words.

The relaxing feeling along the way was replaced by unspeakable depression at some point.

Lin Qiao turned her head and glanced at Lucy beside her.

Ever since she met Arasaka's transport team, she had been in a strange state.

But he can roughly guess the reason...probably the cyber hacker Arasaka trained since childhood, and it definitely has nothing to do with the word "humanity".

Although it is possible to directly use genetic factors to possess and read the memory, Lin Qiao does not want to use such a method for the time being unless necessary.

After all, who doesn’t have a past that they don’t want to face?

"Are you ok?"

"....Well, it's okay."

He told lies that even he didn't believe.

There was still a pale white color on his face, and his eyes were looking out the window a little dull.

It's just that now, she can no longer use her extra energy to transform the desolate Gobi into a moon she has never seen before, as she did before.

The moment she was pointed at by an Arasaka soldier with a gun, she suddenly realized that despite running away for so long, the word "Arasaka" had never been far away from her.

The world is hell.

And she has always been here.

"It seems like you hate the company."

Lin Qiao slowed down the car and threw the plastic bag containing the medicine into the back seat.

——This cannot be cured by taking motion sickness pills.

"....I just...."

"Rather than hating it, it would be more appropriate to say that I feel hatred and fear - especially the people of Arasaka."

"...You saw it wrong..."

His voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees, and he denied it.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable...that's all!"

Lin Qiao sighed and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but the latter dodged her and then shook her head helplessly.

"I've seen your prosthetic body. Although I don't know the specific model, there is no doubt that it is a cutting-edge product that is hard to see on the market, and it also has the Arasaka symbol on it... Even if I don't know the other Say, you should know it too.”

"No! I have nothing to do with Arasaka!"

Biting her lower lip, as if to emphasize this point, she deliberately pronounced the last few words very hard.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he hoped that Lin Qiao would stop pursuing it.

But things are not as expected.

"Lucy, you're a good kid, and because of that you're really good at telling lies."

Her violent overreaction only made Lin Qiao more confident in her own conclusion.

“…”

Say no more!

It was like being poked at a painful point. The moment she was exposed and revealed what she feared in her heart, Lucy felt guilty and frightened. At the same time, she had the urge to jump out of the car and run away.

Only the endless open plains around her stopped her.

Even if she did jump out of the car, she wouldn't be able to run very far.

Just thinking about the terrible outcome of being betrayed and being captured back to Arasaka, she felt as if she had fallen into the cold sea water, her hands and feet were numb, and even breathing was a luxury.

Fear drives her actions.

Subconsciously, he reached for the pistol at his side.

'etc!What am I doing? '

My heart beat hard.

But when he realized this and came back to his senses, the trembling muzzle of the gun was already aimed at Lin Qiao who was sitting on the posture seat beside him.

She immediately wanted to put down the gun, but she was afraid that after putting down the weapon, Lin Qiao would do something detrimental to her, so she stopped.

For a while, he fell into a dilemma.

He turned his head and glanced at the white-haired girl who was holding her gun uncertainly, with a look of struggle on her face.

Lin Qiao still looked calm and calm.

"You know, sometimes it's easier for people to accept it than to simply deny it."

"For example, let's say you are the daughter of a certain executive in Arasaka, but because your parents were on the wrong side in the power struggle, various things happened. In the end, you had no choice but to escape alone in order to save your life."

"And there's one more thing -"

Slowly raising an arm, reaching towards Lucy, she held it in both hands, but Lexington was shaking.

"Don't move!"

Lucy tried to sound as fierce as possible.

But that look looked just like a milk cat showing its teeth after being bullied.

It has no meaning other than making you want to tease her even more.

Because of this, Lin Qiao did not listen to her words and grabbed her gun-holding hand.

"!"

The white-haired girl felt a slight panic in her heart...but the expected pulling and snatching did not happen.

After Lin Qiao's hand helped her stabilize the trembling muzzle, she slowly lowered it.

"When pointing a gun at others, remember not to move your hands around. Others will see that you are guilty, and they will take advantage of you."

Glancing at Lucy who was a little surprised, Lin Qiao continued: "Also, if you want to threaten someone, remember to turn on the safety first next time."

“…”

After a moment of wordless silence, Lucy finally put down the gun.

Chapter 296 Your Agreement with Me

The sun was high in the sky.

The scorching sunshine made the car's exterior scalding hot.

Lexington, who had never opened the safety, was thrown to the ground.

The atmosphere in the car became more tense, and Lucy looked more decadent...and self-blame.

The burritos and soda drinks that I opened were untouched, or I had no appetite at all.

He hugged his knees tightly and squatted in the passenger seat, just like a hedgehog huddled up after being frightened.

But there are no sharp spikes that can hurt people.

"....Just drop me off when you get to the next town."

His head was buried between his legs as much as possible, and his tone sounded a little self-defeating.

"Is it because of Arasaka?"

“…”

Lucy was silent, but her fingers clenched her thighs uneasily, her nails digging into her flesh.

Sometimes, no answer is also an answer.

"Although it's a bit pretentious to ask this, I still want to ask. You should be complaining that I don't understand the style, and you have to break the casserole to get to the bottom of it, right?"

"...Well, kind of..."

Having said that, if you think about it carefully, it would be better to talk things over like this instead of being suspicious of each other and causing all kinds of trouble in the end.

Although you can't completely identify a person's true face after two days of getting along with him, you can still barely see his outline.

He has a somewhat bad personality, but he is very good at taking care of others. He should not be a bad person... Lucy also hopes that Lin Qiao is not a bad person.

But despite this, after just two days of getting along, it was still difficult for Lucy to trust him in all aspects.

After all, it is difficult for someone to say "I refuse" when facing a company.

As a consumable sent by Arasaka to retrieve data from the old network, the data stored in her mind can definitely be described as valuable.

I think Arasaka would be willing to give some "small money" to the person who turned her in.

——For ordinary people, that is a huge sum of money.
